Following a break due to the New Years holidays, the trial of former Republika Srpska President Radovan Karadzic before The Hague Tribunal is due to continue on Tuesday, when new Defence witnesses will testify.
Former Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic said that his wartime military commander Ratko Mladic will start testifying at his Hague Tribunal trial on January 28.
Bosnian Serb war crimes suspects received 640,000 euro of state money, plus more cash from private funds, while Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats got nothing.
Former Republika Srpska President Radovan Karadzic, who is charged with genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, says that he can hardly wait to testify in his defence.
Radomir Radinkovic, former Intelligence Officer of the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, says, testifying in defence of Radovan Karadzic, that Bosniaks and Croats, who were held in a detention camp at Manjaca in 1992, were treated in line with regulations.
Appearing before the International Tribunal at The Hague, Milomir Stakic, wartime leader of Serbs in Prijedor, confirms that grave crimes were committed against Muslims and Croats in that municipality in 1992 and expresses his regrets to victims.
Indictee Radovan Karadzic tries to deny a statement by one of Prosecutions witnesses that the Bosnian Serbs leaderships policy during the Bosnian war was to kill one third of Muslims, convert one third to Orthodox religion and let the last third leave on their own.
Testifying in defence of Radovan Karadzic, former Republika Srpska Army, VRS, general Zdravko Tolimir says that neither he nor Karadzic knew about the mass executions of Bosniaks from Srebrenica in the summer of 1995.
The Hague Tribunal accepts Radovan Karadzics request to deliver a warrant to Ratko Mladic, obliging him to testify in his defence in January next year.
Defence witness Vladimir Matovic says, testifying at Radovan Karadzics trial at The Hague, that, while they were in Pale in July 1995, the indictee told him that he obtained information about the happenings in Srebrenica from CNN television.
